Swiss Earth Observatory Network

Research

Complex interactions between the Earth’ spheres and underlying physical processes will be assessed using coupled models and observations in a holistic fashion. Backbone of the SEON approach are state-of-the-art observatories, in-situ measurements, and models.

The project consortium focuses on several research topics:

  • Spatio-temporal quantification of ecosystem processes (i.e., NPP)
  • Energy and gas exchange of terrestrial ecosystems
  • Resource utilization and -efficiency of major crop species
  • Exchange processes of aquatic ecosystems and mapping of IOP / AOP
  • Air quality and atmospheric transport processes of NO2
  • Dynamic of the cryosphere and monitoring of snow/ice parameters
  • Modelling trends of agricultural management and impact on soil functions

SEON actively supports young academics and contributes to regular curricula to educate next generation professionals in Earth System Science.
